In addition to being the resource teacher, I teach one class of fifth grade religion. It just happens that we were discussing how Pope's are elected and how the conclave works this past Friday. I even said to my students, "It's good to know, but this probably won't happen for a while." Then I woke up this morning to the very interesting news of Pope Benedict XVI resigning.
In trying to find some information to present to the class, I came across a couple great resources. This one is a very easy to read graphic from the Washington Post that was put together at the time Pope Benedict XVI was elected. The numbers may be a little off, but the process is the same.
How Does a Pope Get Elected (Graphic)
This one is a video from You Tube that has much of the same information, but is presented in a different way.
How do they choose a Pope (video)
Hope that helps!
